should they save their hire they must

Any man in this country who works

and vicious who compla n OF poverty,
as no man able and wiling to work
can complain of It. If it comes to any
such it comes solely because he ceases

About "Bnckat ShOoS

There are said to be about 5000 of
these places in the country, many Of
which are backed by rich men. They
combine together, are connected by
private wires and have central office
in New York.
The business is managed after this
fashion: a customer buys a hundred
shares of stock at one of them aud puts
gins. A decline of one dollar a share will
wipe out this margin and his money
will 20 into the Golfers of the bucket
shop. On the same day that he bought
others are doing the same thing in other
places. In the aggregate the margin
money thus deposited amounts to sew
eral thousands Of dollars and all that is
needed TO enable the bucket shops
to take it all in is to get a single
sale on the New York exchange at one
point below the price paid by these
purchasers. The New York Office has
Il man on the exchange and the requir-
ed sale is forced and the money for the

There are no chances so far as the

Lemon Culture in Florida.

The lemon grove is started much the
same as the orange grove, but budded
trees should always be used. as the
fruit of seedlings is generally worthless.
High pine land is best adapted to the
growth of lemon trees, the higher and
dryer the better; low lands and hum
mocks will never give satisfactory re-
suits. The lemon is not as hardy as
the orange. and consequently cannot be
grown with profit as far north unless
well protected by bodies Of water, or
surrounding forests. aud on high land.
The trees may be planted somewhat
closer together than the orange, as tho
fruit is mostly borne on the inside
branches, while orange trees bear more
heavily on the outer limbs. From
twenty 10 twenty-five feet apart is the
usual d stance. Clean culture and the
best commercial fert lizers apply equal
ly as well to the lemon as to the orange
grove. and the trees will thrive with
less amount OF fertilizer. Lemon trees
should never be pruned, except to
remove dead branches. and possibly a
few of the lower limbs that interfere
with cultivation.
Lemons should never be picked for
shipment when fully ripe, but should
be gathered inst as they are turning
yellow, and placed on drying shelves in
the same manner as oranges, and left
for several weeks until thoroughly
